Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) is a hardware-based technology that enables remote management of computers, even if the operating system is not running or the computer is powered off. AMT is typically used by IT administrators to remotely manage and troubleshoot computers in a corporate environment.
To check whether AMT is enabled and provisioned on a Linux system, you can use the amttool command, which is a command-line utility that allows you to interact with AMT. The amttool command is usually included in the intel-cmt-utils package, which you can install using your distribution's package manager.
Once you have installed the intel-cmt-utils package, you can use the amttool command to check the status of AMT on your system. To do this, open a terminal and enter the following command:
amttool -d
This command will display the status of AMT on your system, including whether it is enabled and provisioned.
You can also use the amttool command to perform other AMT-related tasks, such as powering on or off the system, rebooting the system, or accessing the serial-over-LAN (SOL) console. For more information, you can consult the amttool man page by entering the following command in the terminal:
man amttool
